PLANTING, & KEEPING THINGS STEADY

Well I've been alone since Thursday and so far so good. No cravings to start my own business or do any other massive damage on the internet. Haven't broadcast half my lpersonal life on one of the "Search for your Soulmate" sites... I havecleaned up and planted the corner at the front of the house also covered the tree roots with some new soil... Put in some foilage over left of the front p orch tsteps where is was looking a little barren. I'm happy to note that my concern about whether or not these areas got water from the sprinkler system has been answered. I went out to check and see if my efficient brother had it turned on. I figured...middle of hottest part of year...surely it's on...Bill is the one who checks up on me, right?. NO. NO SPRINKLER SYSTEM ON. (Wait til he checks on me next time HA!) First the big mister, now the sprinkler.

Anyway, I turned it on and...whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I don't know once again.......................................... but at a quarter to three in the morning, the sprinkler system woke me up going full force. So, I know it is working. Last year at this time, I was not sleeping in this room and would not have heard the sprinklers. But, for the love of God, certainly 5:00 a.m. is a more reasonable hour...I can tell you it's going to be when I go out and reset them tomorrow morning. I forgot to do it today in the midst of the planting. Also did two loads of laundry; worked on the embroidery for the Aug. 12 wedding; talked to three of my children, swam my 10 laps this morning and conversed with my girls.
If I haven't mentioned the girls, they are one Golden Chow Retriever, sweet disposition named Hattie and one red Doberman, named Rhiannon (like the song) usually of sweet disposition except when being obstinate ( about sneaking off and getting on my bed) or slightly crabby on occasion Mostly she just likes to talk a bad game. and that's at night when they are lying down supposedly going to sleep. And she will start carrying on growling.and sort of crying. until Hattie will move way over to the other side of the room. Then Hattie gets up and comes back over by my side of the bed and she starts in again. I'm glad when Bill comes home...they sleep in his room and there's no vying for territory. Ain't it great to be loved?

Well it's my bedtime and so far the Abilify seems to be helping still. Forgot to call the doc today. Must remember to do that tomorrow.
